The Middle East is on the brink of a major imperial clash
After all, if the drone had not been over Israeli airspace, it would have been far harder for Israel to justify its actions. Lebanon is protesting Israel's use of its airspace to target Syria , saying it will complain to the UN Security Council.

Kuwait Pledges $2 Billion for Iraq Reconstruction
Saudi Arabia said it would allocate $1 billion for investment projects in Iraq and $500 million to support Iraqi exports. Qatar announced $1 billion in loans and investments while the United Arab Emirates pledged $500 million for rebuilding.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon X24 modem will enable 2 Gbps LTE speeds
With this, Qualcomm also revealed a list of 18 OEMs who will be using the x50 modem and 5G technology in their upcoming hardware. In the initial days of 5G networks, coverage will be quite limited, so it seems like Qualcomm is taking the advance move.

Around this time a year ago, most rumorssaid that Apple would do something no other smartphone maker was capable of with the the iPhone X. It turns out Apple did, but not the way we thought. Like Animoji, 3D emoji will also let users have fun making amusing faces with animal characters.

The report claims the S9 will feature Animoji-style 3D emoji which will mimic users' facial expressions.

Samsung is also making sure not to go over $920 retail so as to stay away from the stigma of crossing the $1,000 mark which some claim will eventually slow iPhone X sales.

Since Apple beat manufacturers to the implementation of 3D emojis, it seems that the competition is now hurrying to create (or even copy) a version for new devices, and it could be that Samsung will boast that their version is better still than Apple's.

This year's Galaxy Note 8 was codenamed "Baikal" after one of Russia's biggest lakes, hinting at the smartphone's large 6.3in display, apparently.

Unfortunately, only Galaxy S8 (and S8 Plus) owners installing Android Oreo are receiving the new Samsung Experience right now. The South Korean mega-corporation prides itself on innovation, but has also been slapped with lawsuits in the past for too closely copying Apple's iPhone features and design.

Samsung could improve on Apple's Animojis in a number of ways.

It is back in October a year ago that reports of Note 9 coming with fingerprint sensor under the display surfaced online. These rumors continued to circulate more recently about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9, but they were short-lived.

One of the other new features of the Galaxy S9 will be stereo speakers.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is now being tested by Korean mobile networks and accessory companies ahead of its release.
